I'm 1 year out of college and recently inherited $400k and have another $120k saved up from internships and work.

I know the standard thing to do is DCA into an index fund/ETF but is there anything else I should be doing to invest my money and hedge against inflation. I'm just concerned with the political turmoil going on and trying to figure out what ETFs I should be investing in and how much I should be putting in every week.

How would you recommend investing the money?

27, paid off car, student loans left is $18.5k, investments at $22.3k, trying to go to grad school PT by next summer. employer willing to pay $5.5k/yearly, would take me 2.3ish years to complete, projected price would be $23k after tuition reimbursement. what’s the best way to pay through school, i feel like it doesn’t make sense to put money into a 529 if i plan to withdraw so soon? thoughts were max out my 403B, show an AGI of 70K and get low cost student loans out? does this make sense to do?
